"Aunt, this is something I found by chance a while ago. It's especially good for your skin, so I saved it for you." Han Yunxi not only called her aunt, but also gave her a present.
Lady Tang liked her to begin with, so the value of the present was one thing. In the end, it still represented her sincerity. How could Lady Tang not dote on her even more?
Lady Tang had always loved beauty and was good at maintaining her looks. She was especially obsessed with things like rouge and face powder. As soon as she opened the box, she was stunned by Han Yunxi's present.
"Aiya, isn't this Congealed White Jade Dew? Tsk tsk, this is good stuff! "Lady Tang was delighted.
"It's good that Aunt likes it."
Han Yunxi smiled. She had no intention of taking out a second present, so Aunt Ru could only watch from the sidelines, feeling very awkward.
She had been in the Tang Clan for so many years. Besides Tang Zijin, anyone who gave Lady Tang gifts would always prepare a gift for her. In the past, Tang Li and Feiye had always done the same. As long as there was a present for Lady Tang, there would be one for her as well.
But today, Han Yunxi had called Lady Tang "Aunt" in front of her and given her a present. She had completely cast her as her own aunt to the side.
In terms of blood relations, she was even closer to Long Fei Ye than Lady Tang!
Currently, Baili Mingxiang was standing on the sidelines, snickering. That box of Congealed White Jade Dew was exactly what the princess had asked for from her at the foot of the mountain. The princess had always preferred to go bare-faced, so she wasn't interested in such things. She had never understood what the princess wanted to do, but now she understood after seeing Aunt Ru's seven parts embarrassed and three parts disappointed expression.
How was the princess going to slap Aunt Ru's face with a present? She was clearly going to slap Aunt Ru's face and give her a present to make Lady Tang happy.
The princess was getting worse and worse, but Baili Mingxiang only admired and admired her more. She would never learn to love, hate, think, and act so boldly.
Aunt Ru simply turned her head away and refused to look! However, no one paid any attention to her.
If it was any other day, Tang Zijin would still care about her feelings. But now, Tang Zijin's thoughts were all on Mrs. Tang. Seeing Mrs. Tang happy made Tang Zijin's heart as sweet as honey.
After a few simple pleasantries, it was time to get down to business. Tang Zijin had prepared a table full of food and wine to welcome them back, but Long Feiye refused.
After a simple meal, no one had time to rest. Long Fei Ye had Aunt Ru lead the way into the Tang Sect's poison grounds.
Tang Zijin and Madam Tang didn't come. Aunt Ru was the only one leading them. Everyone wanted to see Fire Spring before nightfall, so Aunt Ru did not delay. While walking, she explained everything that Long Fei Ye and the others did not understand.
"Your Highness, Princess, back then, Consort Wan also suspected that the Fire Spring was poisonous, so she fed the fire of the Fire Spring to ferocious beasts and prisoners. All of them died on the spot and their bodies turned black," Aunt Ru said seriously.
"Did she identify what kind of poison it was?" Han Yunxi hurriedly asked.
She was really afraid that Consort Wan had identified the poison of the Fire Spring. If that was the case, then the Fire Spring would not be the Fire of Ten-Thousand Poisons. Aunt Ru shook her head helplessly. "No. Back then, we invited a few poison masters over, but they couldn't find anything. Consort Wan named the Fire Spring as Flame Poison, but they never found an antidote. Later … "
Aunt Ru choked a little. "Later, she was delayed by the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion. Later … Sigh, she didn't have the life to see the Fire Spring again."
Aunt Ru's sudden choking sound caused the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere to suddenly become heavy.
Long Fei Ye held Han Yunxi's hand tightly, but didn't say anything. Gu Qishao and Tang Li walked behind her. Gu Qishao hung onto the straw as if none of this had anything to do with him as he observed their surroundings, while Tang Li stared gloomily at Aunt Ru's back.
Although Aunt Ru was uncharacteristically polite to his sister-in-law, his intuition told him that a dog couldn't change its habit of eating shit. She had no good intentions!
Yunxi didn't say anything either. Tang Li had told her everything about Consort Wan, but Long Fei Ye didn't seem willing to let her know. Thus, she pretended not to know anything.
Seeing that no one spoke, Aunt Ru said, "Your Highness, it'll be esteemed Consort Wan's birthday soon. You should stay here for a few more days."
The matter of dual cultivation had been kept a secret at Celestial Mountain. Besides Tang Li, no one else in the Tang Clan knew about it, much less Aunt Ru.
Long Fei Ye still didn't speak, making Tang Li furious. Aunt Ru clearly knew that Consort Wan's death was the saddest thing for big brother, so why was she bringing it up? Moreover, there was still Gu and Baili Mingxiang!
Tang Li was about to speak when Han Yunxi beat him to it. She changed the topic. "It's been so many years. Has no one ever seen a real flame in Fire Spring?"
There had never been an open flame in Fire Spring, nor were there any large furnaces nearby. This was what Aunt Ru had said in their previous letters.
Aunt Ru didn't answer Han Yunxi, but wanted to continue the topic of Consort Wan.
She brought up Consort Wan because she hoped that Long Fei Ye wouldn't forget the sacrifices his imperial father and mother had made. Although the enmity between East and Western Qin was all a misunderstanding, Han Yunxi was still the princess of Western Qin. The Western Qin faction would definitely fight for power with East Qin! Long Fei Ye couldn't forget East Qin's interests for the sake of a woman.
But when Aunt Ru turned around, she met Long Fei Ye's cold gaze. She was both angry and helpless, so she could only shut her mouth.
Long Fei Ye said Cold, "I'm asking you a question."
Han Yunxi sneered inwardly. People like Aunt Ru were simply courting death. Although Long Fei Ye's status was noble, he wasn't someone who disrespected his elders. For an elder like Aunt Ru, other than her age, which part of her was like an elder?
"Princess, if there really is Earth Fire there, with your ability, finding it will only take a day or two. There's no need to worry," Aunt Ru replied.
These words seemed to be praising Han Yunxi's ability, but they were actually flattering her. If Han Yunxi couldn't find the Earth Fire in a day or two, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
Han Yunxi couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her and didn't ask any more questions. In any case, Aunt Ru didn't know much about the Earth Fire. It was better for her to personally take a look before discussing it with the others.
They quickened their pace and quickly crossed the mountain, arriving at the shade of the mountain. The Fire Spring was hidden in the valley behind the mountain. It was hidden very deeply. If they didn't take this mountain path, they definitely wouldn't be able to see it.
After Han Yunxi and the others crossed the mountain, they walked towards the valley. Not long after, Gu shouted, "There!"
Everyone looked down in the direction he was pointing and saw that the valley was covered in a fiery red color, as if it was on fire.
"Yes, yes, it's there," Aunt Ru said with a smile.
"It really looks like fire. So beautiful." Han Yunxi had already secretly activated the detoxification system. Unfortunately, the distance was too far and she couldn't detect any poison.
"Princess, do you see it? Fire Spring is there. If we go down now, it will be dark soon. Why don't we come back tomorrow? " Aunt Ru suddenly wanted to back out.
"No need. Let's go down and take a look first," Han Yunxi said indifferently.
"That's true. Princess's poison skills are the best in the world. Who knows, Princess might be able to find the Earth Fire before the sky turns dark. "Aunt Ru immediately took the opportunity to flatter Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi had seen too much flattery.
She only felt that it was boring! She pretended not to hear and held Long Fei Ye's hand as she flew down. Gu, Tang Li and the others followed closely behind.
Aunt Ru's lips curled into a cold smile as she followed.
Before Long Fei Ye and the others came, she had already searched this place many times. She had even dug five or six meters deep on both sides of the pool but didn't find any large furnace.
She wouldn't be stingy with her praise for Han Yunxi. She wanted to see how capable Han Yunxi was and what kind of furnace she could find.
Soon, the group arrived at the side of the Fire Spring. Before they got close, Han Yunxi had already detected that there was poison in the Fire Spring. However, she only knew that there was poison but she couldn't determine what kind of poison it was.
The Fire Spring wasn't small and had an irregular circular shape. The spring water in the pool was fiery red and bubbling non-stop. It had a kind of magnificent beauty.
Han Yunxi carefully observed the surroundings. There were traces of digging around the pool. It was done by Aunt Ru's men.
Han Yunxi discovered that the surrounding barren land also had the same poison as the Fire Spring and it was hidden rather deeply.
She pondered for a moment and came to a definite conclusion, "Geothermal heat. The poison is hidden underground and has affected the water quality and soil."
"Then it must be the Earth Fire! Could the Earth Fire Qian Furnace be at the bottom of the lake? "Gu finally spoke.
Compared to Gu, Han Yunxi was more cautious. She said seriously, "Not necessarily. It could be another poison. I just can't detect it."
Although she could deduce from various signs, she could only be eighty percent sure when she didn't see the Earth Fire Kun Furnace. And when she saw the Earth Fire Kun Furnace, she could only be ninety percent sure.
No one had told them that the fire in the Earth Fire Kun Furnace was definitely the Fire of Ten-Thousand Poisons. This was their deduction based on Old Man Of Alchemy's description.
Only when they obtained the Earth Fire and merged it with the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion to obtain the poisonous teardrop would Han Yunxi be sure that the Earth Fire was the Fire of Ten-Thousand Poisons!
The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was used to break Bai Yanqing's undying body, so Han Yunxi didn't dare to be careless.
Long Fei Ye didn't hesitate, "Xu Donglin, find someone to break the pool and draw water!"
Aunt Ru stood at the side and said casually, "This isn't easy to do. It won't be done without five to six days. I thought that with the princess here, we would be able to see the Earth Fire very quickly. "
Han Yunxi still ignored her, but she stopped Xu Donglin. "There's no need to trouble so many people."
After saying that, she unexpectedly jumped into the Fire Spring!
"Han Yunxi!"
"Poison lass!
Long Fei Ye immediately reached out to pull her back. Gu also rushed over, but it was a pity that the two of them didn't manage to hold her back. The others still hadn't recovered from their shock and were stunned.
One must know that the Five Elemental Poison and the Blood of Ten-Thousand Poisons were both incurable poisons. If Han Yunxi was poisoned, she probably wouldn't be able to save herself.
Everyone was stunned, including Aunt Ru. But soon, Han Yunxi let everyone see a miracle. Just as Han Yunxi was about to fall into the water, the water in the Fire Spring disappeared into thin air, not leaving a single drop behind.
The large pool was as deep as two people. Han Yunxi stood in the middle of the pool, looking up and smiling at everyone.
Long Fei Ye was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. But seeing her smile, he couldn't help but smile. How could he forget that this woman had a poison storage space?
Other than the Blood of Ten-Thousand Poisons, she couldn't actively collect other poisons. But for poisons that threatened her life, she could collect them in her poison storage space. With her jump, the innocent Fire Spring became a threat to her.
Han Yunxi smiled and looked casually at Aunt Ru, only to see her …
